Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by peeling and chopping the pumpkin into medium-sized pieces. Set aside.
- In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat.

- Stir in the curry paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add the chopped pumpkin to the pot and stir to combine with the garlic, ginger, and curry paste.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, bringing the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender. Stir occasionally.
- Once the pumpkin is tender, remove the pot from the heat.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.
- In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice and olive oil. This mixture will be drizzled over the soup before serving.
- Ladle the soup into bowls.
- Drizzle a little of the lemon juice and olive oil mixture over each serving.
- Garnish with coriander pesto (recipe not provided) and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Roast the pumpkin beforehand to enhance its natural sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Use fresh ginger root for a more vibrant and authentic taste.
- Adjust the amount of curry paste according to your heat preference.
- Blend the soup in batches to avoid overfilling the blender, and puree it until smooth for the best texture.
- Garnish with a drizzle of coconut milk or a sprinkle of fresh coriander leaves for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
